Title: Improvements in apparatus for applying bread-crumbs and the like to foodstuffs
Inventor: ROSE ALFRED GERMAN
IPC: A23P20/12
Filed: 1955-10-18
Abstract: 810,559. Coating foodstuffs with bread crumbs and the like. ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH) Ltd. Jan. 17, 1957 [Oct. 18, 1955], No. 29616/55. Class 28 (1). Apparatus for applying bread crumbs and the like from a hopper to foodstuffs, e.g. fish cakes, fillets or scallops, supported on a wire-mesh belt after a previous treatment with liquid or paste, e.g. batter, wherein a supporting plate close beneath the upper run of the belt supports a layer of crumbs and a guiding plate close beneath the lower run of the belt guides a supply of crumbs round a substantial portion of the forward supporting roller of the belt to guide crumbs from the guiding plate up to the upper run of the conveyer. Fish sticks 11 are fed by a conveyer 12 to a wire mesh feed conveyer 13 which deposits them on a main wire mesh conveyer 14 running beneath a bread-crumb hopper 16. Hopper 16 has an opening 17 extending the width of its base into which a deflector member protrudes to divide the crumbs into two showers or to close the opening. The ends of member 18 are mounted on a pair of levers 19, 21 an arm 22 connected to lever 21 being lockable in any position by a bolt 23 so as to hold member 18 in the required position. A plate 24 close beneath the upper run of belt 14 supports a layer of crumbs which have passed through the belt. A guiding plate 26 is arranged close below the lower run and around the forward supporting roller 27 of belt 14 to guide surplus crumbs falling beyond the end of plate 24 towards the upper run of belt 14. Plate 26 may have holes 28 through which some crumbs fall into a collecting hopper 29 from which they are fed back to main hopper 16. A sliding cover may be provided to cover or partly cover some of the holes 28.

Title: Method and apparatus for applying pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to cylindrical articles
IPC: B65C3/12
Filed: 1964-07-23
Abstract: 1,106,653. Labelling machines. COW & GATE Ltd., and G. K. CHARLES. 22 Oct., 1965 [23 July, 1964], No. 29662/64. Heading B8F. A machine for applying pressure sensitive adhesive labels preferably heat-shrinkable to cylindrical articles such as dry battery cells comprises three rollers one of which rotates the article for label application and one at least of which is movable to clamp the article between the rollers. Cells 12 fall down a shoot 17 of a magazine 11 on to slide blocks 26, 27 of a feed mechanism. The slide blocks 26, 27 are reciprocable by rack shafts actuated by a cam mechanism 56 so that a pusher block 34 feeds the lowest cell against a drive roller 63 where it is clamped by a pressure roller 40 and a support rollers 42 mounted on the slides 26, 27 respectively and moved into clamping position therewith. In synchronism with cell feed a tape arm 67 is lowered by the cam mechanism 56 to insert the end of the tape 68 between, the cell and the roller 63 so that rotation of the cell applies the tape thereto. As this progresses the arm 67 rises to tighten the tape so that a blade 109 can sever a label length on operation of a solenoid 106 when a scanning head 112 senses a mark on the tape. The length of tape cut can be adjusted by a device 91. When application is complete the slides 26, 27 withdraw and the cell drops on to a conveyer 115 for passage through a heating chamber 116 where the ends of the label extending beyond the cell curl inwards on to the ends of the cell. In a modified feed mechanism the block 34 is dispensed with the feed being effected by the roller 40. In an alternative label feed mechanism, Fig. 9 (not shown), pressure-sensitive adhesive labels are mounted on a backing strip and are separated therefrom as they contact the pressure roller 63.

Abstract: 762,375. X-ray tubes: particle accelerators. METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. Oct. 27, 1954 [Oct. 27, 1953], No. 29684/53. Class 39(1). An X-ray generator has a collimator 5 on the X-ray side of the target plate 4, and another collimator 14 on the electron beam side of the target; collimator 14 is of lead or heavy alloy, and has an aluminium shield or facing 15, with a flange 16 which makes good thermal contact with a copper tube 3. In the linear accelerator arrangement shown, the beam passes through the corrugated wave-guide 1 to strike the target. If the beam 9 is slightly displaced into position 10, such electrons as do not pass through the collimator bore 17 strike the aluminium facing, producing a minimum of scattered X-rays, which are largely absorbed by the block 14, so that they do not contribute to the main X-ray beam and upset its symmetry. The X-ray collimator has a conical bore 6, and may be water-cooled through a duct 7. The invention is applicable also to normal type X-ray generator tubes.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to, rubber flexible mountings of internal combustion engines
IPC: F16F3/087
Filed: 1947-11-08
Abstract: 635,864. Resilient mountings. AUSTIN MOTOR CO., Ltd., BISHOP, J. L. H., HAEFELI, G. C. J., and JONES, G. Nov. 8, 1947, No. 29774. [Class 108 (iii)] [Also in Group XXIV] In rubber flexible mountings of an internalcombustion engine, comprising at each side of the engine, a rectangular rubber block bonded between metal plates forming respectively a bracket on the engine and a part of a bracket secured to a supporting frame or supporting members, there are provided rubber compression blocks, initially compressed and so formed and arranged as to operate in compression to resist torsional movement of the engine which is caused by the reaction of the driving impulses at slow speed. In the arrangement shown, a rectangular rubber block D, bonded between brass plates d and r, is secured between inclined flanges a and f of brackets A and F mounted respectively on an engine B and a chassis frame member G. A trapezoidal rubber block H, bearing on a laterally-extending portion of the flange f is bonded on its upper face to a brass plate h. The latter is secured to a web c of a sub-bracket C, which is also secured to the flange a. The block H provides relatively strong resistance to torsional movements of the engine at low speeds thereof, whilst at high speeds such movements are absorbed by the block D acting in shear, and by the fly-wheel of the engine. The block H is initially lightly loaded and its shape is such as to give an increasing load/deflection ratio for increasing loads. One or more shims J may be placed between the web c and plate h and the axes of the blocks D and H are such that each is tangential to a circle described from the longitudinal axis of torsional vibration of the engine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to rail vehicle retarding devices
Inventor: KIDD ARCHIBALD WATSON
IPC: B61K7/08
Filed: 1953-10-29
Abstract: 764,481. Railway track brakes. COAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS), Ltd. Dec. 28, 1954 [Oct. 29, 1953], No. 29931/53. Class 103'(1). In a rail vehicle retarding device of the kind in which elongated jaws 5, 6 forming brake elements projecting above the level of the rail 3, are spring loaded into an operative position in which the brake elements grip the wheel of the vehicle passing along the track to retard the vehicle and in which the braking elements are connected together by horizontally-disposed transverse links 11, 12, 13 pivotally mounted on pivot studs 19 for rotation about the vertical axes; one of the links (12) being spring-loaded by compression spring 30 towards an oblique position to the jaws whereby the jaws 5, 6 are resiliently urged together, the link 12 being movable towards a position normal to the jaws by a fluid pressure operated piston and cylinder mechanism 40, 41 to move the jaws 5, 6 apart. The device comprises a box 1 adapted to be rigidly located in the track. A rail 3 is bolted within the box as indicated at 4, forming part of the track when the device is in position, and is located between a pair of jaws 5, 6 carried on a base-plate 7 which is free to slide transversely of the track by a limited amount to accommodate variations in the wheel gauges of the vehicle being retarded. One of these devices is associated with each rail of the track such that when a vehicle is assumed to be approaching from the left in the plan view shown in Fig. 2, the pressure fluid, e.g. compressed air, is normally shut off, piston 40 being held deflected to the right by the action of compression spring 30 to hold transverse links 11, 12, 13 angularly disposed from the position shown in Fig. 2, whereby the braking elements 5 and 6 are brought together to grip the sides of a wheel 50 passing over the rail 3. For automatic operation, as the vehicle approaches the braking device from the left, it strikes a trip lever (not shown) which operates a valve to admit compressed air into cylinder 41. For automatic operation, the pressure fluid is permitted to flow at such a rate that the distance between the trip lever and braking elements is such that provided the vehicle is travelling below a predetermined speed, this fully open position of the braking elements is attained before the vehicle reaches the braking elements so that the vehicle is not retarded. If, however, the vehicle is travelling at or above a predetermined speed it reaches the braking device before the braking elements have been fully opened by the pressure fluid and these elements grip the wheel to retard the vehicle. As the vehicle leaves the braking section it strikes a further trip lever (not shown) which operates a valve to exhaust the pressure fluid from cylinder 41, allowing the braking elements to reset under the action of compression spring 30.
